Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The prefect's mansion, study.

The people sent out by Ling Guqiu came back one after another to report.

"Master, our people have been searching the city for more than ten hours, but have not found the whereabouts of the so-called woman in red. Does this woman in red really exist?"

This questioning made Ling Guqiu unhappy.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How can she no longer exist? Pianran even met her in the restaurant today."

"But we almost dug up the entire city of Guicheng, but we didn't even find the woman in red."

"Then we'll continue looking for her tomorrow, and send someone to the city gate to inquire to see if she has left the city."

"Okay, my lord."

After everyone left, the study returned to silence.

The staff member asked Ling Guqiu in confusion, "Isn't it just a foreign girl? Is it worth the master to go to so much trouble?"

"You don't understand," Ling Guqiu leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"I heard from Pianran that the man she was traveling with was outstanding in appearance and had great martial arts skills. I'm worried that such a man would have some ulterior motives if he appeared in Guicheng."

"So the master's target is actually that man, and the woman in red is just a by-product?"

Ling Guqiu nodded, "What's so scary about a woman? But if that man can't be used by me, I have to get rid of him."

The aide paused, and tried to persuade him, "I heard that they are all dressed as gangsters. What if they are really gangsters passing through our Guicheng?"

"It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one person escape."

After Ling Guqiu finished speaking, he frowned and looked at his staff, "Sirs, when did you start to be sympathetic to women?"

"Master, you misunderstood. I am just worried that I will cause unnecessary trouble. I heard that there are many vicious and desperate criminals in the world. If they bite us, we will..."

Ling Guqiu was silent.

After a long while, he spoke again, "Sir, what you said makes sense. Tell them to search secretly tomorrow and don't let everyone know."

Mu Liao nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"How's the situation in Jincheng?"

"Cheng Yao is already at the end of his rope. My father-in-law has reached an agreement with South Vietnam. Once Cheng Yao dies, the Fang family will be able to completely control the Southwest Army. By then, we will be able to rise to prominence."

"Very good!" Ling Guqiu was very satisfied with the result. "My father-in-law's birthday is coming soon. Please help me pick out a few presentable gifts for my reference."

"Yes, the students will go to the warehouse to take inventory tomorrow."

"Well, it's getting late, go back and rest."

Ling Guqiu blew out the candle and left the study one after another with his staff.

On the rooftop, Lu Chenxiao hugged Meng Yunshang and listened to the entire conversation.

Meng Yunshang clenched her fist angrily, "Damn it, my cousin's coma is indeed related to the Fang family."

"The South Vietnamese troops approaching the border are also closely related to the Fang family."

"They are so bold, aren't they afraid that the imperial court will send people to investigate thoroughly?"

"My brother's secret letter said that he proposed to send troops to the southwest during the morning court session, but was opposed by all the ministers."

In other words, they instigated South Vietnam to send troops and had already thought of a countermeasure.

It is impossible for Emperor Yuan Qing to successfully send people to the southwest to take over the Southwestern Army.

If they hadn't come secretly, Cheng Yao would have been a fish on the chopping board.

Let others slaughter you.

Meng Yunshang grabbed Lu Chenxiao's hand and pleaded, "Let's rush to Jincheng tonight to meet up with Bai Cong? I'm worried about my cousin."

"Let's go down first to see if there will be any other gains, and then set off again."

"it is good!"

After searching in Ling Guqiu's study, the two of them actually found several letters between him and the Fang family.

The words "Loss of Mind Gu" were mentioned frequently in the letters.

This made Meng Yunshang suspect that this was the poison that the Fang family had planted in Cheng Yao's body.

The next afternoon, the two successfully arrived in Jincheng and reunited with Dangui, Lu Kang and others.

"Princess, you are here. My cousin..."

Dangui's eyes were red and she wanted to say something but stopped herself. That day, she and Bai Cong sneaked into the general's mansion to check on Cheng Yao's condition.

Seeing Cheng Yao, who was usually full of vigor and vitality, sleeping in bed like a living dead, she almost couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

It was only because Bai Cong and Lu Kang repeatedly reminded her to stay calm that she did not lose her composure.

Now that she saw the backbone, how could she bear it anymore.

"They are so abominable that they turned our cousin into a monster. Princess, we must rescue our cousin and then fight back. Our cousin is so pitiful."

Meng Yunshang patted her back to comfort her, "If they dare to hurt and plot against my cousin like this, I will definitely not let them go."

"I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't mean to make you anxious. It's just that my cousin is in such a miserable state right now."

Dan Gui was in a hurry and after she finished speaking, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Lu Chen Xiao’s dark face, which looked scary.

She also regretted her hasty words and was afraid of causing trouble for the princess.

How could Meng Yunshang not know what she was thinking? "It doesn't matter. You and I grew up together with our cousin. It would be strange if you were really indifferent."

"Thank you, Princess," Dan Gui breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her tears and stood back in her original position.

Bai Cong came forward and briefly introduced Cheng Yao's current situation.

"The poison in his body that prevented the wound from healing has been almost eliminated secretly. The most troublesome thing now is the mind-destroying Gu in his body."

"Are you sure my cousin was really infected with the Lost Heart Gu?"

Bai Cong nodded, "I have confirmed it again and again, it is the Lost Heart Gu."

"How do I resolve this poison?"

"We must find the person who poisoned General Cheng, remove the mother poison from his body, and then use the mother poison to draw out the child poison in General Cheng's body and destroy it. Only then can General Cheng wake up."

"But we don't know where the mother Gu is, so we are stuck in a stalemate and have made no progress."

Baisong scratched his head in annoyance. The process of removing the poison seemed simple, but it was actually full of difficulties.

They have been staying in this small courtyard these days. Except when Lu Kang secretly took him to see Cheng Yao, he spent the rest of his time studying the Mind-Losing Gu.

But if we don’t know the whereabouts of the mother Gu, all research will be in vain.

This also made him start to doubt himself. If he had known this earlier, he would not have boasted so much.

Meng Yunshang noticed his dilemma and thanked him gently, "Thank you for your hard work. If you can help my cousin get rid of the poison, the Cheng family and I will owe you a favor."

Bai Cong's impression of the Princess Heng was still in the small courtyard in the Heng Palace that she could never leave.

He always thought that Princess Heng was a ruthless character with a fierce voice and a fierce look, and she had everyone in the Heng Palace under control.

Bai Cong was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect to see her approachable side now.

"Leave it to us to find the whereabouts of the mother Gu. Bai Cong, you are only responsible for attracting the Gu for my cousin and taking care of his health afterwards."

Bai Cong nodded and said yes, but his brows were still frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"I have promised several girls around me that when they find their ideal partners, I will not only marry them, but also prepare a generous dowry for them and protect them for life. Although Fuling has not been with me for a long time, I will treat everyone equally."

Bai Cong's eyes lit up instantly, and his attitude became much more sincere. He patted his chest and assured Meng Yunshang, "Don't worry, Princess. As long as we find the mother Gu, I will definitely give you a lively General Cheng."

"Well, I'll remember what you said."
